Stereogum, Pitchfork, etc., etc., ... everyone creams their jeans over her, but as far as I can see there is NOTHING special about her, her voice, her music, whatever. Blech.

In other news: Yo Grandy, can we get a post/poll/thread on Battles? I missed the boat on these guys last year and am just now listening to "Mirrored" and I have to say, I think it SUCKS. What does everyone else think? Now that the blog hype has died down, can we all agree there is nothing redeeming about this band?

She's great if only for Be Mine but there are many reasons to like this girl.

Battles do suck but the DJ Koze remix of Atlas justifies the bands existence.
